Bryce Hall was one of the nation’s fiercest cornerbacks before his injury. He led the nation with 23 forced incompletions in 2018. In addition, Hall has forced an incompletion on 24.8 percent of targets since 2017 — the second-highest rate in college football.

Starting in 13 games as a junior, Hall recorded 62 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, two interceptions and two forced fumbles on the year. His efforts earned him an easy all-conference selection.

At 6-foot-1, 202 pounds, Hall has good length for a cornerback. He has tremendous ball skills and reactional quickness. If healthy, he’ll have a real shot at coming in and starting opposite of Pierre Desir.
